Zhipu AI's open platform for GLM large models, multimodal APIs, and agent building
Unified access to GLM large language models plus vision, OCR, speech, image, and video endpoints through one account.
Build tool-using agents and expose or consume MCP services to connect models to external systems.
Create managed knowledge bases and retrieval pipelines so models can answer with your own documents.
Tune models on your data and prototype prompts interactively in the browser before shipping.
Anthropic's frontier AI workspace powered by Claude 5.5 for agentic coding, analysis, and nuanced writing.
Combines frontier Claude Opus 5.5 and high-speed Sonnet 5.5 with configurable extended thinking, up to 1M-token context windows, and 128K-token outputs.
Pro, Max, and Team Premium plans bundle Claude Code for autonomous command-line software engineering, test execution, and repository-wide refactoring.
Renders live interactive web apps, visualizations, spreadsheets, and formatted PowerPoint decks in a dedicated workspace panel alongside the chat.
Grounds conversations in shared project knowledge bases and connects directly to local filesystems, GitHub, Slack, and internal databases via MCP.
